The built environment requires energy-flexible buildings to reduce energy peak loads and to maximize the use of (decentralized) renewable energy sources. The challenge is to arrive at smart control strategies that respond to the increasing variations in both the energy demand as well as the variable …

De Gemeente Groningen heeft in maart 2023 het Kenniscentrum NoorderRuimte van de Hanzehogeschool Groningen de opdracht gegeven voor het uitvoeren van een verkenning naar het aanbod aan werklocaties voor creatieve en innovatieve bedrijvigheid in de gemeente. Deze verkenning richt zich primair op het aanbod …

Underutilised charging stations can be a bottleneck in the swift transition to electric mobility. This study is the first to research cooperative behaviour at public charging stations as a way to address improved usage of public charging stations. It does so by viewing public charging stations as a common-pool …

This study used historical data from a Park & Ride facility in Amsterdam to build a validated computer (Python) model to optimize battery and grid connection sizing. The case study modelled is equipped with 8 EV chargers (16 connections), an on-site supplementary battery, and a limited capacity grid …

In the last two decades, co-creation and social innovation have become important concepts in academic research and public policy. The two concepts are conceptually linked, but this relationship has hardly been problematized in academic literature. In addition, social innovation and especially co-creation …

The number of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is expected to increase exponentially in the coming years. The growing presence of charging points generates a multitude of interactions between EV users, particularly in metropolitan areas where a charging infrastructure is largely part of the public domain. There …

During the COVID-19—related lockdowns (2020–2022), mobility patterns and charging needs were substantially affected. Policies such as work from home, lockdowns, and curfews reduced traffic and commuting significantly. This global pandemic may have also substantially changed mobility patterns on the long …

Deze publicatie over de vroege fase van bedrijfsopvolging in familiebedrijven laat zien dat de intentie van een volgende generatie om al dan niet het bedrijf over te nemen zich al op jonge leeftijd ontwikkelt. Ouders oefenen invloed uit op de ontwikkeling van hun kinderen door (on)bewust gebruik te maken …
